Selecting any ftp related d/l link causes mozilla to do something requiring
little or no CPU for a very long time (often 5+ mintues).

Same URL works perfectlty and instantly in Firefox .8

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the link
2. Wait 
3. Wait more

Actual Results:  
the browser appeared to be locked up.  I could kill it, but it still took a long
time to die.

Expected Results:  
Opened the d/l link.

Are you saving to a local drive or a network location?
